[10-27-04 23:04]: Just out of curiosity, since you haven't stated so explicitly, did you double check the NIC's configuration in Yast?
yes

no, obtained automagically.
Not that it should mysteriously change on you, but...
note: there is a router between box and cable router.
Could it be a timeout problem?. /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp # (only dhcpcd does use this setting) # # You can set the timeout (dhcpcd will terminate after this time when it # does not get a reply from the server). # # The default timeout of dhcpcd is 60 seconds. However, we'll set it to a # much longer time. dhcpcd will then run as a daemon in the background and # broadcast a DHCPDISCOVER once in a while, trying to get a lease. # DHCLIENT_TIMEOUT="999999" Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
